            Bug ID: 139947
           Summary: Loaded PDF has not recognized Microsoft truetype fonts
                    (ttf-mscorefonts-installer)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
On Ubuntu I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer and all M$ ruetype fonts are
working in Writer, Calc. Documents from M$ Word works nicely. But when I open
PDF with M$ fonts DRAW destroys PDF layout because fonts are not recognized and
wrong fonts are used for substitution.
For example "TimesNewRomanPS", "TimesNewRoman" are not recognized. When I
select text area box with wrong layout I see in Properties -> Character: "The
current font name is not available and will be substituted."
When I manually change font types of all those "text areas" to "Times New
Roman" which is available in Draw (after I installed M$ fonts) layout of that
PDF is fixed and I can get PDF from which was possible only on Windows.
I was not able to find any solution for this problem online. Please help or
direct me into source code where decisions about fonts are being made and I can
try to fix it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download pdf file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bv8owu5k2zy1vik/File258301.pdf?dl=0
2. Open file using LibreOffice Draw:
3. See that layout of some text boxes is wonrg (they are one over another)


Actual Results:
"TimesNewRomanPS", "TimesNewRoman" are not recognized. When I select text area
box with wrong layout I see in Properties -> Character: "The current font name
is not available and will be substituted."

Expected Results:
"TimesNewRomanPS" - I don't know what that "PS" is. I know nothing about fonts.
But When I changed it into "Times New Roman" layout was nice, so to recognize
it as "Times New Roman" would provide working solution for me.
"TimesNewRoman" - Recognized as "Times New Roman"


Reproducible: Always
